Role of an EMHC is to assist the priest in distributing Holy Communion at Mass. This would include distributing both the hosts and the chalices. Some EMHCs also bring Communion to the sick and homebound.

EMHCs also set up the sacred vessels for the Mass and put them away afterwards. They ensure that all that is needed for the Mass is ready when the priest begins.

Open to any Catholic in good standing who has already received the sacrament of Confirmation.
